Please could anyone help explain the following answers that I think are correct to the above crossword.
6a. Heading west, curve around port (5) ACCRA. 'arc' = curve but why 'ac'

12d. African means to reject baby born on April 1st. (5) I think the answer is NAIRA a Nigerian monetary unit (African means or money) I had N?I?A. April 1st = A but where does NAIR come from?

11d. Topsoil, earth and sludge turned up for rock plant (5). I think the answer is SEDGE. s and e coming from top Soil and Earth, but how to justify 'dge'?
Any insights gratefully received. Thanks ahead.
